dude, I just now saw your post... from almost exactly one year ago. Didn't even know I could do that here! Anyways, China has both facebook-denied me and blog-denied me, so I'm pretty limited in my forms of communication here. I'll refrain from cursing the commies in fear they'll ban this one too. Anyways, man, I'm on MSN and Skype all the time, but if not I've got my old school email. Still usin in.

And yeah, the food hit the bowels hard. The Chinese are actually quite respectful of the effect of their cuisine and have and pretty let you go home without further questions. Which has been a hangover lifesaver
